Default Cold Start Up

Hi I have a 2001 GMC Sierra Z71 1500 HD, with the 5.3l engine.
There is a ticking noise only at cold sart up, this noise seems to go away within a minute. Usually by the time I get the truck up to 50k it quits down to nothing. Is this something to worry about or is it common with these trucks.
Thanks for your help.

It is prolly piston slap. These motors are famous for this.
